Locations Setup not working was created by Sherry

I am building a website offline on my PC, and I just purchased and installed Events Booking. I am trying to create a new location in Components > Event Booking > Locations, but have not yet been successful in creating a location.

First, I click the New button, which takes me to a screen to enter the location's details. Once I enter the location details and click the Save button, I am taken to a blank screen. When I reload my admin back-end, I see that the location did not save.

What am I doing wrong? How do I get the locations to save?

Hi

The location function requires Curl library activated. It is a popular library and supported by all hosting provider. In this case, you are using the extension in your local computer and see this error . To enable it, you just need to enable curl library and It will working properly !

Thanks,

Tuan

Hi Tuan,

How exactly do you enable Curl? I've googled it, but the results are a little over my head. Do you have a quick set of instructions on how to do this? :unsure:

Thanks.

Nevermind. I finally found a straightforward (and simple!) explanation here:

I think the easiest part is find your php.ini file in your php installation folder and make some adjustment.

Look for an entry like this

Code:

;extension=php_curl.dll

If there's " ; " then remove it.

Yes, curl is a standard feature supported by almost hosting providers. Just ask your hosting provider to install it.

I'm having the same problem. I have a windows hosting on GoDaddy. They are telling me that I need to change to Linux to get curl. Is there a way to get around this?

I would change to a linux server regardless. It shouldn't be any more money with Godaddy and if it is, switch over to 1and1, they are cheaper anyways. If you HAVE to have a windows hosting plan then I understand.

The simplest way is that you use a service to calculate lat & long of the location you are entering, then enter the lat & long into lat & long textbox in add/edit location screen.

For example, you can go to batchgeo.com/lookup/ , enter address and it will give you lat & long of this adress . Enter that lat & long into the location add/edit screen and it will work fine .

Hi - I am just setting up eventBooking on my local server and am having the same problem. I tried putting in the lat & lon and I uncommented "extension=php_curl.dll" as advised but still get the same result.

Hi

Are you using Windows ? You might need to do an extra step :

Thereafter copy the dynamic library files libeay32.dll, ssleay32.dll and php5ts.dll into the system32 directory of your windows installation . These files can be found in the folder where you PHP is installed.

More information can be found on this page : barakbangla.com/index2.php?option=com_content&do_pdf=1&id=42

Hope this help .

Regards,

Tuan
